  1. Practise down hill, use a rock to help the back lift and remember not to swing the back round with your legs but push with your arms. You can pull the forks through a bit a little will help. Sorry if you are doing these, Ralph.
  2. Perce and Others, I do not mean this post to be a debate or knock anyone who has posted but i am not sure what poeple mean by to hard for a clubman. At the 3 day on the easy route apart from 2 or 4 sections with double steps in and some shaley climbs all the other sections were very getable for everyone. When riders say the sections were to hard for the clubman dose that mean they are unable to get out the end cards on a lot of sections or they paddled through most or riding up the streams and gulleys is hard enough. What i am trying to say is that at the 3 day i dropped sh&t loads every day not by not getting through or being unable to (if i had a good ride) get up things but by my feet going down every time the forks moved and i was shatterd after paddling through some flat ones because i could not get my feet back on the pegs which did not help my final score. Dose this mean its to hard because i paddled a lot and did not get up a few steps and was knackerd at the end of every day. Well i don't think so i should be a bit better. There has to be things in the trial some riders can not do to let the better clubman improve and then progress on to the hard route. Do any of the Expert say their route is to hard or is it just us clubman. Sorry if this seems to be directed at anyone or ones who has commented its not ment to but i hear it a lot around here. Ralph. Perce, Keep doing what has made the Richmond club so successful. John B Just saw your post and could not agree more.
  3. You wait weeks for a good trial then you get 2 on the same day.Will it clash next year with Man 17. Hope gasserboy is up on his feet soon and see if Barry can give him some tips on how to fall off gently. The Gasser did it survive?, couldn't have.
  4. I thought my butty from the butty van had been lased with mind bending drugs or something and STOP IT will you you will get me in to trouble if you keep on about other exotic animals.
  5. Cheers to all a great days riding, good sections and well marked. Would have liked to see some of the Experts ride 2 of the sections looked a bit nasty. Thanks again. Justin your keen with that post are you not, wont a job at TMX.And we did see a Bloody Larma thing or a very large dog with a long neck. All most fell off when i saw it a big fluffy thing looking over a wall.

    How much would a new cover cost? I would rather have scratches than a naff chav looking thing on the side, any info please. Betarev3, we will have to take out the burberry seat covers from the van aweek Saturday so not to upset Heath. Wonder if we could sell them to Barrybaines.
  12. He will have a 1 in 3 chance of winning it when stocker rule comes in. Will it take a long time to get to grips with it ?.And has he just kissed the indoor tital away.

    Legend, What an awfull thing to say about Dads Bott he would get upset and coming from a Broadys regular as well. Talking of Bums my wife would make a great Robber because her Bum is big enough to rub out her foot prints.

    A Story.

    It is. Usually one is enough and the next morning you are like a beer with a sore head.
  15. Like it. Reath 3 Day or 2 as it was then. It was the first trial i done up north and never ridden a rocky stream before i was hooked. Every year slightly diffrent route not all the sections are the same, well flagged and all is friendly even to a southern poof. Cheers again Richmond Club.( the Marquee climbing was impressive)
